i was most impressed with the guys who turned up to "help" who simply stood there and said "does it work?"

i know they probably did chip in, but they didn't look like they were there for anything other than tea making duties and to get on the telly from what they showed

and just lobbing an engine in wihtout any sort of set up, that's even worse than when wheeler dealers did that saph "yes, we'll remove the head, bolt it back on again once it's been reconned and then boot the fuck out of it, hooray!!!"

i did like it over all though, it's more of an enthisisats show rather than money making

looked nice after, one thing that got me was why did they put that wanky rad back in thinking it was ok?!then tried to remove the windscreen without cracking it, with a tool that cracks windscreens!

I would hazard a guess that things like a set up etc was done in the back ground to keep filming time down etc... I felt it was a good effort .. And a sad story to it myself ... It
Meant so much to him around the time he lost his brother .. Full respect to the man !!!..

has anu one noticed the car was never mot again

turbochild

Just watched this again and done a reg check as I do with a few cars on these shows and it is one of many that seem to never be mot’d again. Makes you wonder if they get badly botched or the owners where not to bothered they sat doing nothing as is made out?

anyone know what happened to this car?

studabear

Owners could have passed away. The rs1600i hasn't been mot'd since

The Black 3DR Cosworth was at MA Developments workshop not too long after the show where it was “refurbed” was aired, so engine didn’t last that long I think, but that’s cossies for you lol

that was 2014 iirc as that was the year my Cosworth was broken by myself and sold in bits
